Genes affected

BLM (HGNC:1058): (BLM RecQ like helicase) The Bloom syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by growth deficiency, microcephaly and immunodeficiency among others. It is caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the gene encoding DNA helicase RecQ protein on chromosome 15q26. This Bloom-associated helicase unwinds a variety of DNA substrates including Holliday junction, and is involved in several pathways contributing to the maintenance of genome stability. Identification of pathogenic Bloom variants is required for heterozygote testing in at-risk families. [provided by RefSeq, May 2020]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 3.8, offset of 1, new splice context is: ttgtttctctctcataaaAGtag. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
• PP5: Variant 15-90804166-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr15-90804166-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 524772.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

Bloom syndrome Pathogenic:2

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Oct 02, 2017	Donor and acceptor splice site variants typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in BLM are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17407155). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with BLM-related disease. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 18 of the BLM gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing and likely results in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
